Zoho's Unconventional Path: Building a Global Tech Giant from India's Heartland

In conversation with Dataquest, CEO Sridhar Vembu outlines the company's ambitious plans for semiconductor investment, emphasizing the importance of local fabrication facilities for national security and economic growth.

The man behind the global tech giant Zoho, offers a unique perspective on India's burgeoning technology landscape. With Zoho's roots firmly planted in India, Vembu has witnessed firsthand the nation's transformation from a technology importer to a global exporter.

Zoho has been a significant player in India's tech landscape. Can you share your thoughts on India's journey to becoming a global technology hub, and how Zoho is contributing to this transformation?

Given our demographics and the fact that India has the largest youth population in the world-23 million babies were born this year alone-we have to be involved in every critical technology sector.

This means creating jobs, nurturing talent, and building capabilities. The Global Capability Centre (GCC) boom is a positive sign of our growing capabilities. However, I believe this growth must extend to rural areas as well. India's vast population is spread out, so it's crucial to create opportunities in rural regions.

At Zoho, we are committed to this vision, combining R&D with rural development. We're bullish on this trend and are investing heavily in it.
